Testimonials

Lisa has been an expert guide and facilitator for my need to tap into my inner knowing when I’ve encountered life’s challenges. Not only has she sensed when to ask powerful questions, but also she has known exactly what to ask to help gain clarity and when to share her wisdom, wise counsel and helpful techniques. Lisa weaves together a lifetime of cutting edge exploration and training into her coaching along with her heart-centered presence. Lisa is a rare mix of magic as a coach, healer, teacher, passionate golfer, mindfulness expert and visionary adventurer.

“I sought out Lisa for her knowledge of sport psychology because I needed help with the mental aspects of clay sports shooting. In a short amount of time she helped me focus so that I could feel more confident and successful in my sport. I’ve found these ideas helpful in other aspects of my life. From the very beginning, she understood my needs and guided me in the right direction. Working with her has been time and effort well spent.”

Greg

Sporting Clays Shooting / Brunswick, Maine

“Thank you for the life-changing gift of this class. I CAN do these things! I love how portable the practices are – they can be done any time, anywhere, with any amount of time and very little preparation. It doesn’t take any extra time to practice, just awareness. It’s perfect for me!”

S.B.

Mindfulness Group Participant / Brunswick, Maine

Having coaching sessions with Lisa offered much more than anticipated. As easygoing and fun as she is, she is incredibly in-tune to me. I received an abundance of verbal and written feedback and recommendations on how to improve my approach and skills in mindfulness. As I practice and integrate her teachings, my joy and success is increasing! Thank you, Lisa.

When I came to counseling with Lisa, I wasn’t sure what specifically I wanted to work on. Over time we began to focus on relationships and intimacy. I had been single for several years and felt very stuck in that area of my life. Using a variety of intuitive and restorative techniques she helped me to uncover hidden beliefs about love and relationship that were weighing me down. She helped to soothe the parts of me that were scared, and to motivate and excite the parts that were eager to find connection. I began dating someone soon after I stopped working with Lisa and two years later, we were married. I feel confident that my work with Lisa helped to lay the groundwork for the happy marriage I enjoy today.

Lillian

Falmouth, Maine

“Lisa’s expertise on the subject of mindfulness is second to none. During our time together, I was extremely impressed with the passion she exhibited. I feel I share in that same enthusiasm towards golf, therefore it was easy for me to relate with her on her teachings. The on-course training especially helped me with the learning process. It was immediately noticeable how breath, visualization and pre-shot routine impacted not only the result of my shots, but also the confidence and sense of calm I felt throughout the lesson. Not long after our first meeting I tied the course record at Bath Golf Club. I felt like I was in the ‘zone’. I expect her guidance played a part.”

My wife’s death after 48 years of marriage
threw me for a loop–painful and slow grieving. I was fortunate to locate
Lisa. She gives me far more than comfort during our sessions–she provides
concrete tools to deal with issues as they come up during the week. I am
armed with specific techniques to deal with the unexpected challenges as
they arrive. As a result I move forward every day, not just during our
sessions. Highly recommended for any kind of challenge.

Jonathon Dean

retired lawyer

I participated in a 6-week Mindfulness training group with Lisa, and learned some good stress reduction tricks. I now take time to mindfully plan each day, which in itself is stress reducing, but I also learned how mindful breathing helps clear my mind and focus on what needs to be done. She gave me tools for practicing at home and now I live in a more stress-free environment. Lisa’s calming, mellow voice and mindfulness lessons are really worth the time spent. Invest in yourself!

Louise Grant

Finance Analyst / LL Bean

“I was feeling lost and insufficient in my work environment, and I was conflicted about whether or not I should leave my position and look for something else. Lisa helped me realize that it was not my fault and supported me finding a more healthy and balanced work situation. The job I have now suits me a lot better and I’m very glad that I made a move. Thank you Lisa!”

Alfons Wald

Speyer, Germany

“I have been working with Lisa directly since 2000. If I had to pick Lisa’s biggest strength, I would say it was her ability to bring patients to their highest level of functioning using many different modes of treatment in a highly skilled way. She knows when to be confrontational, and when to be supportive. . . she is willing to go the extra mile to be an advocate for her patients. . . She has wonderful energy and radiates calmness and self-awareness. Her care is compassionate and always respectful. She has a wonderful sense of humor and patience. Coaching indeed is a natural outgrowth of Lisa’s ability to foster positive change for her clients.”

Dr. Rosalind Gold, MD

Attending Psychiatrist / Maine Medical Center

“Caring, soul–full, wise, loving, humble, gentle, strong. All of these qualities cannot fully describe the woman and healer I have found in Lisa. Coach is too limited of a word. Some experiences transcend words. Her warmth, compassion and generosity provide a “holding” for me through the darkest hours of my life. She has been a God-send – spirit moves through this woman! She has provided a major anchor for me during this extremely painful process. She has assisted me as I use these challenging circumstances to transform myself. I have not fully completed my healing journey, but I am well on my way. My gratitude for Lisa is unbounded.

Lisa, your four-week class was just what I needed! You helped me build a strong foundation to develop a practice that is most beneficial to me. I am amazed at the positive effect my meditation practice has had in so many aspects of my life. These kinds of results in such a short period of time are amazing to me! They also act as great motivation and inspiration to continue practicing. The month I spent in your class was definitely a life-changer! Thank you.” (Feb. 2014)
